Rapid papers describe a very jealous
and enterprising thief in the person of
a rancher on French creek named John
Wright, who recently stole a wagon, a
set Of harness and a doubletree at Rapid
City. The articles were all rake ed in on
the same night and stolen from different
parties. Wright removed his plumber |
to his ranch on French creek. A clue
having been obtained to the missing
articles, the result was the arrest Of
Wright. and his return to Rapid, where
he was held for his appearance at the
next term of court in the sum of $500.
Failing to produce, he was consig ned to
the bastile, where he now languishes,
and which serves John right.
